Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI) (“Gannett” or “company”) today
issued the following statement regarding an evacuation at its
corporate headquarters:
Earlier today, the Valo Park building in
which Gannett’s corporate headquarters is located in Tysons Corner,
Va. was evacuated after a report that there may be an individual
with a weapon in the building. Fairfax County Police and other law
enforcement agencies swept the building and cleared it without
incident allowing the employees of Gannett and the other companies
in the building to return by late afternoon. No current or former
Gannett employee was involved in this incident.
The security and safety of our employees is
of paramount importance to Gannett. We are thankful to law
enforcement and other emergency personnel who responded swiftly to
secure the location. We are appreciative of their professionalism,
care for our employees and clear communication with management
throughout the incident.
We also want to thank our neighbors, in
particular those at the McLean Hilton and at PenFed Credit Union,
who opened their doors to our employees without hesitation. And,
finally, we want to thank our employees who remained calm and
focused throughout.
